La Belle Noiseuse ****

France: Jacques Rivette, 1991

A mammoth viewing endeavour and certainly not one for the faint-hearted or easily bored, La Belle Noiseuse is ultimately rewarding, but I must confess that my interest in it came and went at various intervals, and it took me three or four viewings to make it all the way through. Rivette's method of concentrating on the artist's drawings rather than the actual nude figure of Emmanuelle Béart is inspired, and the performances have a genuine believability to them.

Welcome to the movie checklist!

This section is an archive listing every movie I've seen from January 1 2005 onwards. Films I have already seen are included and will be marked with a (*), but probably won't be reviewed except under special circumstances. I will be including a rating for each film (in stars, out of 5), and hope to be able to include a brief 1-2 paragraph review of each film, although due to time constraints that won't always be possible.
